    Default profile picture/Avatar

    Hey,

    I was wanting to use that penelope pitstop pic with the Penny written on it (set as my avatar) that some great person made for me many moons ago as the picture that comes up against my name everywhere - against posts on the lists etc, but I can't get to a big version of it to set as my profile picture.

    Is the profile picture the one that is shown everywhere or avatar?

    So I thought instead of bugging you about getting the one with Penny I would jsut get another penelope pitstop picture and use that one, but I am having trouble uploading one. I think they are too big. But I am not sure how to make the file size smaller. Can you help me?

    It's the Avatar that's shown almost everywhere.

    Just attach it here and I will resize it.

    Then I am most confused, as when I go to my profile it shows I have an avatar, but then against my posts I am just shadow girl

    Ok so this isn't really a huge issue and have even debated telling you.

    But how come on the main forum list page on the right hand side where the recent replies are, your avatar shows against your posts but I am still shadow girl?

    Honestly I don't care that much, just curious as to why, so if you know and know what I do to fix it then please let me know, otherwise no stress right!

    Heh. I saw that too.

    The only thing I can think of - it's because I added the avatar using the Admin Control Panel. You could try saving it, then uploading something else, then reuploading it to see if it synchs.

    (vBulletin 4 is still really quite buggy, I shouldn't have upgraded yet but am working through it. )

    Hahaha!

    I just jumped into my Penny suit and tricked NZB into thinking I was you, then uploaded it. No idea why you were getting that error, I had set it to 75x75.

    Yes, I wanted to post the one I use c=everywhere but no Custom Avatar option comes up. Do you have to have a certain number of posts? No signature option either, is there a trick?

    Hi Odille,

    Yeah.. the Custom Avatar option becomes available after 2 (was 5) replies.. I just changed it so give it an hour or so and you'll be able to upload a 75x75 (up to that size) avatar.

    Signatures, those are the same.. no sigs till 2 posts to cut down on the spammers who join and make one post, and expect links back from their sigs.

    Sorry for the hassle.. I know we used to have a 'What You Get at Which Usergroup" thread somewhere.
